Brita
Buy Brita water filters Switzerland – Protection for your espresso machine
Most of your espresso is water. Minerals and hardness directly determine how aromas develop – and how quickly your boiler limes up. In Switzerland, water hardness varies by region from soft (Ticino, parts of Zurich) to very hard (Mittelland, Bern, Aargau). Filtration is therefore not esotericism, but protection for your espresso machine and a prerequisite for clean taste. Coffee Coaching Club carries the current Brita range for home and professional setups.
